gnupg 1.2.6 does not create ~/.gnupg
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Release: 1.2.6

Environment

Multiple - Solaris 9, Linux 2, etc.

Description

Gnupg 1.2.6 does not automatically create ~/.gnupg if it does not exist. Earlier versions (e.g. 1.2.1) were tested and they operated correctly.

How To Repeat

  1. Remove or move aside ~/.gnupg.
  2. Run "gpg --gen-key".
  3. Key generation fails as ~/.gnupg does not exist.

Fix

Use a shell script wrapper to create ~/.gnupg if it does not exist, or manually create ~/.gnupg.

Release Note

Fixed in 1.2.7
